You know those people who are extremely religious and act as though the world will end if they allow themselves even a little freedom? The ones who constantly tell you what you shouldn’t do, what you shouldn’t

I think my mum may have done a little unpaid advertising for me. Somehow, word got around that I had kittens up for sale, and since then, people have been showing up at the house asking about their

I wish I could take a walk one day and stumble upon one of those fountains where people toss coins and make wishes. I don’t know if things like that still exist now, it was a childhood movie magic thingy

Many of us think we lack financial prudence, when sometimes, the truth is that the economy is simply dealing with us. You buy a small bowl of ice cream, and the moment you look at your account balance,

A few days ago, I wrote about how the squirrels in our garden were doing the absolute most, destroying and eating their way through a good portion of the food growing there. I jokingly told my cats to

My brother-in-law owns a pretty big farm. He uses about five plots of land solely for agricultural purposes, and he seems to know every little trick there is to growing plants. One time, he sent us some

I don’t think I will ever fully understand the concept of abuse in a marriage, or why some women come online and pretend everything is perfectly fine when, behind the scenes, it really isn’t. Especially

“I got the house,” I giggle into the phone, and she says, “Yay,” in a strangely dull tone. “What? You’re not excited for me?” “Maddy, I am. It’s a big thing for you, but there’s something about that house

Comedy being the genre of this film made me watch it as I was expecting a funny, messy marriage story, but I ended up thinking about something much bigger, how easily a woman’s ambition can become a problem

I didn’t really have anything in mind to write about for today’s prompt, so I decided to dig through my own experiences and see what I could pull out of it. Then I remembered an editing job my elder sister

I am not one to overlook how I feel around people or when I walk into a place. So, today, being in a whole new month, feeling grateful for so many things, my thoughts somehow took me back to the time I

Listening to intelligent people speak, or having an intelligent argument or conversation with someone, will always be one of my favourite things. There’s just something wholesome about listening to someone

On a September morning, when the day is still young, the air arrives crisp and salty, and the rain, for once, has taken a little break. The sands are dry beneath my feet. The fields are green and lush,

It’s the first of September today, and I don’t really have much to say other than to remind whoever comes across this post that life certainly throws some hits. People go down, some get up, and some don’t.

I was going through my pile of old schoolbooks recently and found one of those books that was originally written as a series of letters but put together as a full book for educational purposes. I think

I have always found films about grief a little difficult to watch because it is painful watching people lose someone they love while having to figure out how to continue living as if the world hasn’t just

I like sleeping without having dreams whatsoever. And if there must be an exception, I prefer the lucid ones where I know I’m dreaming. Those are the dreams I actually enjoy because I can take control,

My friend called me last night and told me she wanted to crash at my house, but sadly, I’m not at mine. I haven’t been home for almost two weeks now, so that wasn’t possible. When I asked her why she suddenly
